One of these compounds is the starting material in the Danishefsky total synthesis of taxol. The hydroxy form of these compounds is obtained from phenyl esters in the Fries [FREEZ] rearrangement. The iodoform test gives a positive result for the methyl type of these compounds, which generally do not react with Tollens' reagent. These compounds react with Grignard reagents to form tertiary alcohols, and are obtained from the oxidation of secondary alcohols. These compounds are tautomers of enols, and their simplest example is used in nail polish remover. For 10 points, name these compounds that have two R groups bonded to a carbonyl.
